Ovarian response of individuals to different doses of human menopausal gonadotropin.

Abstract:

:Hormonal profiles were compared in 14 ovulatory women who were treated with two different doses of gonadotropins in successive in vitro fertilization cycles. All patients suffered from mechanical causes of infertility. Serum estradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and progesterone (P) were measured daily during the follicular phase. Women were arbitrarily classified as high responders (E2 greater than 1000 pg/ml on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin administration, n = 8) or as low responders (E2 less than 1000 pg/ml, n = 6), according to the peak E2 levels during the cycle when they received 3 ampules of human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG). When patients were treated with 3 ampules of hMG, serum FSH, LH, and P concentrations increased significantly during the follicular phase in high responders but remained unchanged in low responders. When these patients were treated with 2 ampules of hMG, the temporal profiles of the hormones were similar, but the magnitude of increases in serum levels of gonadotropins and sex steroids was significantly reduced in high responders. The authors conclude that temporal individuality of endocrine profiles cannot be altered by varying the dose of gonadotropin. Increases in hormone levels accompanying a high response to hMG can, however, be dampened by lowering the dose. In contrast, hormone concentrations are not influenced by changing the dose of hMG in low responders.
